不同的國家有不同的英語
英國人的航海在英語的傳播中扮演了重要的角色。目前,英語在許多國家被作為官方語言或通用語言頻繁地使用,例如美國、新加坡、馬來西亞和一些非洲的國家。這些國家的英語都以英式英語為基礎(chǔ),能很好地為以英語為本族語的人所理解。但是實(shí)際上,這些英語在口音、拼寫、表達(dá)和詞匯的使用方面都在逐漸變化。
因?yàn)檫@一情況的存在,你就可以利用這些英語之間的區(qū)別說出你們街區(qū)的外國人是哪個國家來的了。例如,如果有個老板流利地命令他的司機(jī) “Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs(直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”,而不是要求說“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis(請直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”,你就可以輕易地辨認(rèn)出他的美國人身份,而后者卻暗示著那是一位英國人。
